Semi-free Poltergeist: Remote Control Overlay, Alerts & Mod Tools

Roll a Number on Stream​

A new "Random Number" asset under "Spawn Assets" draws a whole number between the "Min" and "Max" you set with a short shuffle. Roll it with the "Roll" button in the properties panel, or from chat with !roll [name] after giving it a "Random Chat Name", with !roll [name] [min] [max] setting a new range.

• Rolled Event: A new "Random Number Rolled" event in Trigger Studio fires on every roll with the result as {amount}, optionally only when a chosen number comes up.
• Roll Action: A new "Roll a Random Number" action rolls it from any event, and every action after it in the same trigger gets the result as {amount}.
• Text Lines: The "Update a Text Element" action has a new "Mode" dropdown, and "Add as a New Line" writes under the current content instead of replacing it.

Arrange the Sidebars Your Way​

Every section in both sidebars can now be dragged into the order you want. Grab and drag a title such as "Canvas Assets" in the left sidebar, or "Content" in the right sidebar with a text asset selected, and drop it where you need it. The tools and property groups you use most sit at the top on every visit.

• Touch Support: Press and hold a section title on a phone or tablet, then move it into place.
• Saved Per Browser: Your order is remembered on each device you moderate from.

Full Control Over Your Alerts​

The new "Alert Control" panel in the Properties sidebar (with nothing selected) appears whenever an Event Alert Box is on the canvas.

• Pause & Skip: Hold every incoming alert, or instantly cut the alert on screen, sound and animation included.
• Replay: The panel lists the last 20 alerts, one click plays any of them again.
• Speak Alert (TTS): A new checkbox on the Event Alert Box reads the alert text and message out loud on the overlay and open dashboards, with a mute per device.

Tallies Can Now Fire Triggers​

Trigger Studio has a new event: "Tally Reaches a Value". Pick a Tally (or all of them) and a target number, and the trigger fires the moment the count reaches it, counting up or down, whether it changed from dashboard clicks, chat commands, or another trigger.

• Auto Reset: pair it with the "Reset a Tally" action on the same Tally to start a fresh round every time the target is hit.
• Searchable Dropdowns: every dropdown in Trigger Studio now opens with a "Search…" entry, so you can type to find an event, action, asset, or chat command instead of scrolling.

Run Timers from Chat​

Timers and Stopwatches can now be named in the new "Timer Chat Name" field of the properties panel, letting broadcasters and mods control them from chat with !timer [name] start/pause/reset.

• Exact Counts: !counter [name] 999 sets a Tally straight to a value, next to the existing + and -.
• Custom Start: the new "Start From (Seconds)" field makes a Stopwatch count up from any starting time.

Snap Back to the Default View​

A new "⌖" button next to the LOCK on the bottom right of the canvas recentere your view, zooming out to fit the live, staging and spawn areas exactly like on a first visit.

Keep Part of the Canvas Off Stream​

Add a "Hide Zone" from the left sidebar to mark a region of the canvas as off limits. Anything overlapping it is dropped from the overlay, so assets can still be moved in and out freely while staying invisible to your viewers.

• Broadcaster Control: Only you and your head moderators can add, move, resize or delete a zone.
• Sound Carries On: Video and Media Share keep playing their audio while covered, only the picture is hidden.
• Four Shapes: Pick rectangle, ellipse, triangle or diamond.

Add a head moderator​

Open "Permissions" under a moderator in the "Manage Mods" panel and tick "Head Mod". They can then invite moderators, remove them, and set their permissions for your channel from their own dashboard, so your roster keeps moving while you stream.

• Yours to Grant: the box stays unticked even when a moderator has "All", so only you decide who gets it.
• Same Panel: a head mod sees your "Manage Mods" panel with the current moderators and the pending invitations.
• Kept in Check: a head mod cannot enable "Head Mod" for anyone, and cannot change or remove another head mod.

Read Your Channel Data From Anywhere​

The new "External API" button in the tools column (channel owner only) generates a key that lets bots and stream tools read your channel as JSON, for example https://poltergeist.cc/api/v1/commands.

• Show-Once Key: Shown only at generation, and regenerating replaces it instantly while revoking cuts all access.
• Five Endpoints: /channel, /commands, /triggers, /events, and /variables, including cooldowns, usage counts, latest events, and live variable values.
• Read-Only: A key reads only its own channel, and nothing can be triggered or changed from outside.

Live Predictions and Hype Trains on Your Overlay​

Two new Twitch widgets: a "Prediction" asset, and a "Hype Train (Live Progress)" goal type on the "Progress Goal" asset.

• Prediction Asset: Shows the running Channel Points Prediction with a bar per outcome and marks the winner.
• Mod Controls: Start, lock, cancel, and resolve predictions from the properties panel (Interact permission).
• Hype Train: The goal bar tracks the current level's progress and resets itself when the train ends.

Predictions need one new login to grant the new Twitch permission.
